Richard Blair on the role his mother played in developing the 1945 political fable – and how it nearly didn’t get publishedAs the second world war reached its height, the winter of 1943-4 was one of the coldest of the century. My parents were living in a poorly heated flat in Kilburn, north-west London. My mother was working at the Ministry of Food.
